Sending a message from Python to a Telegram chat: the simplest way
In this article, I will present the simplest way to send a message to a Telegram using Python.
To send the message you first have to:
- Create a Telegram BOT via BotFather
- Get your BOT_API_TOKEN key and CHAT_ID
$ pip install requests
Provided that you did the above, now you can send a message to your bot by issuing an HTTP GET or POST request to the Telegram BOT API at the following URL:
https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_API_TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>&text=<YOUR_MESSAGE_TEXT>
where:
- BOT_API_TOKEN is the API Key generated by BotFather when you created your bot
- CHAT_ID unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format
@channelusername) - YOUR_MESSAGE_TEXT text of the message to be sent (URL-encoded)
All code in Python looks like this:
import requestsCHAT_ID = insert_your_chat_id
BOT_API_TOKEN = insert_your_bot_api_token
url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot'message = 'Hello world!'
params = {'chat_id': CHAT_ID, 'text': message}
response = requests.get(url + BOT_API_TOKEN + '/sendMessage', params=params)
